A patient returns to the clinic after taking antibiotics for a UTI. When a urinalysis is performed, it is determined that the patient still has a UTI. The nurse asks the patient if she took all her medication until it was gone.
 
  The patient replied that she hates taking pills two and three times a day and asks if there is something she can take just once and get it over with. The nurse anticipates that the prescriber will order
  a. ciprofloxacin (Cipro).
  b. cephalexin (Keflex).
  c. fosfomycin (Monurol).
  d. amoxicillin (Amoxil).

ANS: C
When adherence is a concern, fosfomycin, which requires only a single dose, is an attractive choice.
Cipro is ordered twice a day for 3 days.
Keflex is ordered three times a day for 7 to 14 days.
Amoxil is ordered three times a day for 14 days.
